Onomat Deck #725964 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 62/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Blind-Second
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz summon boards with negation and board control via Number monsters (Number 39: Utopia, Number 38, Utopic Future variants); Going-second disruption through hand traps and board breakers; grind game with recursion via Onomatokage and Mulcharmy engines
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Onomatopaira or Reinforcement of the Army to search Zubaba/Gogogo/Dododo starters, build Rank 4 Xyz board (Utopia variants, Bagooska) with hand trap backup and interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Lava Golem, Forbidden Droplet, Lightning Storm, and hand traps to break boards; leverage Mulcharmy effects for hand refresh after opponent's Special Summons
• Recovery: Recursion via Onomatokage (banish from GY to recover Xyz), Mulcharmy burst-draw effects, Dodododwarf recovery from GY, and Utopia Double searcher effects
• After siding: No side deck supplied; structural deck power evaluated as main-only

Why it scores here

This Onomat deck opens a functional Rank 4 Xyz engine with strong hand-trap and disruption coverage (96.6% probability of a live starter in the opening hand). The deck converts reliably into interaction-heavy boards anchored on Number 39: Utopia and Bagooska, with reasonable backup lines through Mulcharmy recursion. However, combo ceiling is moderate (text-inferred at ~75 due to no board data), median output sits lower due to limited multi-summon redundancy, and the deck lacks robust recovery after a clean hand-trap interrupt to the initial starter. Going-second lines are solid via Lava Golem, Forbidden Droplet, and Lightning Storm, but the deck misses 11 high-inclusion core cards (Maxx C, Utopic Draco Future, Gagagaga Girl, etc.), indicating a partial/non-standard build. Popularity did not earn points; the score reflects system consistency, interaction density, turn-order fit, and tolerance for disruption.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Missing Core Cards (-4); No Side Deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural (60) + 0.20*TournamentReliability (56) = 62; Meta provisional (no dated metagame sample supplied)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Very high starter consistency (96.6% P[≥1 live in opening 5])
• Excellent going-second tools: Lava Golem, Forbidden Droplet (3), Lightning Storm (3), hand-trap density (10 copies)
• Solid interaction via Utopia + Bagooska Rank 4 boards
• Recursion engines (Onomatokage, Mulcharmy draw effects) support grind
• Well-tuned tech for blind-second strategy

Weaknesses

• Moderate combo ceiling and median output due to missing 11 high-inclusion core cards
• Limited multi-summon redundancy; heavily reliant on initial starter + hand trap backup
• Weak offensive closing power (low ATK monsters, no piercing)
• Normal Summon conflicts (three 3-ofs: Lava Golem, Gogogo Goblindbergh, Dodododo Warrior) increase brick risk
• No side deck supplied; cannot evaluate best-of-3 resilience
• Niche/off-meta archetype position; low metagame share suggests limited tournament viability

Critical choke points

• Initial Onomatopaira/Reinforcement search can be disrupted by Ash Blossom or Droll & Lock; deck has few independent lines if first starter is negated
• Rank 4 boards are easily bounced or removed by meta decks with kaiju/board wipes; limited follow-up recovery
• Heavy hand-trap dependence means going-first hands with multiple hand traps + limited combo pieces brick easily

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Legal in OCG (55 main, 15 extra, no violations, all cards within banlist limits); Card text confirmed from resolution excerpts (Onomatopaira searcher, Mulcharmy draw effects, Utopia negation, Lava Golem tribal summon); Copy counts and archetype membership verified from deck list; Hypergeometric probabilities computed from main deck size = 55
• Observed: Usage statistics show Onomat core inclusions at 56% presence in this deck (14 of 25 high-inclusion cards present); Hand-trap group (10 copies) and searcher group (16 copies) densities measured from list
• Inferred: Starter consistency P(≥1 archetype live in hand 5) ≈ 0.966 from hypergeometric draw model; treat as estimate (Inferred); Combo ceiling estimated ~75 from typical 2–3 summon chains, board layering, and interaction setup; no direct board sample (Inferred); Combo median estimated ~52 from low starter diversity and missing high-inclusion core cards (Inferred); Interruption resilience ~60 from modest secondary line count and recursion text, but not independently redundant (Inferred); Going-first power ~63 from starter reliability (D1), end-board interaction (D7), and hand-trap backup (Inferred); Going-second power ~68 from Lava Golem, Forbidden Droplet, Lightning Storm triple coverage and hand-trap density (Inferred); Tournament reliability ~56 from moderate brick risk, single choke-point (first starter disruption), and post-side unknowns (Inferred); Main deck efficiency ~58 from 29 distinct cards, high singleton count, and Normal Summon conflicts (Inferred); Extra deck efficiency ~62 from full Xyz specialization (15 slots) and narrow rank coverage (mostly Rank 4) but tight slot usage (Inferred); Pilotability ~56 from moderate combo complexity and forgiving hand-trap logic, but decision density in line sequencing (Inferred)
• Provisional: Meta Power null — no dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share is unknown (Provisional); Matchup coverage ~52 — Onomat is niche in OCG; format fit speculative without dated meta context (Provisional)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied (combos_evidence.total_combos = 0); combo floor, median, ceiling entirely text-inferred No tournament link or per-pilot match record; archetype meta-share absent No side deck (0 cards); best-of-3 resilience unevaluable No win-rate telemetry (brick rate, starter rate, OTK rate) — all consistency/disruption estimates are hypergeometric + textual inferences No dated metagame sample; Meta Power remains Provisional Guides evidence empty (0 guides); strategic intent inferred from card text only
